With the latest zen-kernel (6.16.zen2-1) the keyboard isn’t reacting any longer when trying to unlock the screen on my Hyprland-installation. Sometimes the keyboard isn’t even reacting direct after startup.
With the LTS (6.12.42-1-lts) no such problem is occurring.
All worked until the last 6.15-version I had on my laptop. Strangely enough this never appeared with the 6.16 versions of the mainline kernel. So, it must bis something with the zen branch that’s going wrong here.
